It's Naked Lady season again!The South African native bulb Amaryllis belladonna is quite a surprise each September, when the naked stalks rise up from the bare dirt and open a cluster of huge, lily-like blossoms that are the pale, tender pink of a ballerina's tutu.
Huge glossy green leaves appear in late spring, and then fade away. Months later, in the dog days of summer, the flowers suddenly burst on the scene.

oh what a gorgeus flower , i like the color too
Great name for a flower, beautiful photo.
So THAT is what they are called! I've been seeing them around here and I've been very curious.
Thanks for solving the mystery! :)
I can smell it from here!
The blush on these flowers is lovely - very sweet and gentle.
